I was born and raised in Parry Sound and spent every summer at the family cottage in McDougall. After graduation from Parry Sound High School, I moved to Toronto to pursue my post secondary education. The next 15 years were spent working in the insurance industry. During this time my wife and I were fortunate enough to start our family. Our children are now pursuing their own careers and post secondary education..

Although Toronto was our mailing address for 15 years, we always considered the Parry Sound area as our home. We built our seasonal residence in McDougall and spent our free time enjoying Georgian Bay.

In 1992 we upgraded our seasonal home to a permanent residence and moved our family back to the North. At this same time we opened our insurance business in Parry Sound.

After serving six satisfying years on McDougall Council, I decided in the fall of 2003 to run for the office of Reeve. My background allows me to bring the following attributes to the Reeve’s chair:

- Permanent and Seasonal Resident Perspective
- Business and Family Style of Government

These are challenging times for the Municipal Governments and I welcome the opportunity to work with the new council to ensure that the Municipality of McDougall continues to be "A Great Place To Live and Visit."
